The Tunisia media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Tunisia's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. All 5 titles tracked in Tunisia sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.
By kind of outlet, the 5 titles break down as 1 business daily (Business News), 1 digital-native outlet (Webdo), 1 news portal (Tunisie Numerique), 1 daily newspaper (La Presse de Tunisie) and 1 television news channel (Mosaïque FM). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Tunisia, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Tunisia sits in North Africa, on Crosswire's Middle East and North Africa hub. By outlets tracked it is 3rd of the 5 countries in North Africa and 16th of the 20 across the Middle East and North Africa, where the average is 5 outlets per country. Its neighbours in North Africa with hubs of their own are Morocco (5), Algeria (5), Egypt (5) and Libya (4).
